To top off the classiness they also brought along a giant inflatable rat.

Geeze they brought kids too.
Don’t they need permits for this? The cops need to arrest every one of them and take the kids into state custody. Still haven’t heard anything was done to the loser who shoved his child in front of a moving truck.

Beat them severely.

Fire all those on strike. Then, move. This is terrorism plain and simple.

Where do these slobs relieve themselves. Bust em for public indecency/nuisance.Whatever it takes.

Union protestors have houses too. Maybe someone should picket them. How about an inflatable union rat sh-tting on American economy placed in front of the union offices?
This is back-firing in a big way. Now, whenever I think of rat, I automatically associate with the unions. My apologies to all rats.

I dumped Verizon Wireless, Verizon home and Verizon Internet service because service sucked and prices were inflated. Now I know why service sucks and prices are inflated:Verizon is infected with union DORKS who couldn’t get a decent job anywhere else.

This would be considered an “unlawful assembly” in many places and the police would be required to enforce noise ordinances, distrubing the peace, and fail to apply for proper permits (parade). The problem is the police in that same jurisdiction are more than likely union members too. If I lived in any of those house on that street I would be raising holy-hell with the city/town council, mayor, and police chief! There are proper venues for this type of protest but it is NOT proper in any neighborhood!
Sickofislam
Let me also add…impeding traffic by blocking the streets.
These rat badstards have a contract. It says they will be fired shortly!!

Several years ago the Union tried to pressure Vz to pull out of Texas altogether (a right-to-work State) by threatening strikes in the NorthEast. The company capitulated and did just that except for a few very big clients that had a Vz infrastructure already in place. They laid off thousands of workers in Tx. But they came back quietly, rehiring many. I’m no fan of Verizon, having been screwed by their wireless AND landline divisions before I got fed up and switched, but the Union goons continually prove they are simply drones running in place to enrich their leaders—no real grand strategy is in place for the workers at all. They are vermin and stupid vermin to boot.

If a bunch of thugs like this showed up outside my house? Threatening the safety of me and my family?
There’d be bodies.
I’m serious.
And I’d gladly do my time as a result of my actions.
I don’t put up with this shit. Not in the least.
You show up at my door? Attempting to intimidate me with your thug tactics?
Not gonna happen.
This crap needs to stop. Now.

Would be a shame if somebody put a .50 cal round through that rat.
Well, the inflatable one, anyway.

Where’s the law?

They need to be unemployed and arrested. They are upsetting the peace.
If a normal American worker did this they all would be fired. When the commie union freaks do it, they should get fired too.

I can remember only one time when someone protested outside the home of a leftist.
I think it was Code Pink’s Madea Benjamin, and she wasn’t at all happy about it.
So in case anyone is wondering, the answer is Yes; Liberals can dish it out, but they can’t take it.

If that were my neighborhood the rat would last about a minute. Any of the handguns would be too noisy, but the pellet rifle with the cone shaped pellets would do it a treat. If the neighborhood kids didn’t beat me to it.
Interesting how the goons have European and Japanese cars and motorcycles, huh?

Here in Colorado we have the “make my day law”.
…soon as your rat ass steps foot on my property you will be perceived as a threat.
RKflorida
Castle law here in Florida, but I think they have to do more than step on your property. I think they have to have both feet on your property and you have to not like them. I might be a little wrong on that, but it works for me.

I believe in free speech, but then there is harassment. This is wrong and these people need a rude awakening. In this economy they should be Freaking thankful they have a secure source of income.
I know many professionals with multiple degrees My wife being one of them, that are having a hard time getting employed. I bet most of these scrubs have a GED or High school. There may be a few with 2 years degrees, but probably not many.
Correct me if I am wrong, but last I checked there is no license or federal license needed to answer a customer service call, lay cable or install an internet package at ones residence or business.
Freaking Malcontents that are being used by a Union to extort more cash.

And these goons wonder why their union ranks are the smallest they’ve ever been. Who, other than a bunch of lemmings would want to be associated w/
this type of juvenile, borderline illegal crap. Where the hell are the police?

How do these people get away with invading neighborhoods and behaving like this. It seems to be a perfect venue for violence. The only thing i can think of is that the police are union members and they don’t WANT to uphold the law or protect these CEOs.
BillyK
Non union members–clerical/staff and middle mgmt (upper cannot do) need to go to the IBEW Stewards residence, peacefully and harass him and any other union rep’s but do at 3 am –basically scare their children as well ( see the basketball goal on the driveway on Verizon’s VP driveway)
I’ve was in various unions and sometimes not–by choice
the SIU and Teamsters but they kept the issue on company property but we never went this far
Ass-pricks–I hate unions

Having the police loyal to the union instead of the law needs to be changed.

good luck with that. Why should they enforced the law if our own lawmakers, president and DOJ do not.

Those unions and leftists..
‘Labor unions
Who said this? A representative of the 21st century U.S. Democratic party, maybe?
“As things stand today, the trade unions in my opinion cannot be dispensed with. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions of the nation’s economic life. Their significance lies not only in the social and political field, but even more in the general field of national politics. A people whose broad masses, through a sound trade-union movement, obtain the satisfaction of their living requirements and at the same time an education, will be tremendously strengthened in its power of resistance in the struggle for existence”.
It could well be any Leftist speaker of the present time but it is in fact a small excerpt from chapter 12 of Mein Kampf, wherein Hitler goes to great lengths to stress the importance of unions. The association between unions and Leftism is of course historic and, as a Leftist, Hitler made great efforts to enlist unions as supporters of his party.’
I could swear they were saying, “Hilshire Farms…” “Go, Meat!”
ThomNJ
If it was my neighborhood and they were messing with my neighbor, I would at the very least need to be going in and out with my car to the store, back home, around the block and back again….and everytime, I’d just have to go past my neighbors house – then I’d get our other neighbors to drive through this mob as well.

I see unemployment and food stamps in their future.
We are 11 years into the new millennium and union thugs continue to negotiating like knuckle dragging neanderthals.
I Love Alan West!

My company uses Verizon and has about 50 cell phones for our employees. We are watching all this silly shit and Verizon had better play hard ball with these union slugs. Even if we lose money, we’ll dump their service in a heartbeat if they cave to these fucking inflatable rat bastards.

Makes me almost ashamed to be an electrician!!! What folks need to do is the exact same thing at their homes…show up some Sunday morning about 3 and just go all psych op’s on it…lights, sirens, megaphones….just stay OFF their property and dont interfere with the flow of traffic….good for you is good for me, too!!!
cali
The unuions biggest supporter lives in the white house; of course they can do what they feel like-even violence. The same as those racially motivated attack mobs over major cities.
Jack
These are not Union thugs, these are people with families who get used and fu%#ed over by the companies. Being a right wing supporter like me doesn’t mean that I don’t oppose companies that take advantage of their hard working employees. This has got nothing to do with socialism. All those who disagree: maybe you should be consequent and tell your company you don’t want their health insurance as you’d rather pay for it yourself instead of sending your kids to college. Hypocrites.
Katherine
Why isn’t this disturbing the peace? And why aren’t the cops there?
Katherine
@Jack
Here’s a surprise for you…..most private employees do pay for a least 50% of the costs of their health insurance.
Strange that you think being F**cked over by your employer is something much less than that.
And you’re a right-wing supporter about as much as Obama is.
Unions are parasites, nothing more. And the well of blood which you have been stealing for a century is drying up.
I, for one, will be glad to see you go. The behavior on this video and hundreds more like it, is more than enough to make people hate you.
You’re nothing more than thugs, racketeering thugs who make the Mafia look like pikers.
Katherine
By the way, that “rat” is a great symbol for unions. Too bad you people are too stupid to realize that it defines you, not the employers!
Rats destroy everything they touch.
GeorgePatton
What’s this union again? The I-BLOW?
It’s just so juvenile for a bunch of “grown ups” to stand outside someone’s house, make an ass out of themselves and bring a statue of Richard Trumka in the back of a truck.
Verizon would be far ahead to rid itself of these Fonzie wanna-be’s and hire some people that would appreciate a job.

Jack sounds like a robotroll – but just in case – why is it that so many of you union supporters think that a company is in business to deny workers their ‘rights’, when they are in business not to keep people employed or provide them with lifetime medical care, lavish pensions and so on, but to make a service or product that buyers want ?? If expenses are too high, hey, they might have to lay off workers, cut back benefits/vacations or maybe go out of business. . .
It is a fact that lavish union benefits are one of the biggest, if not THE biggest drags on our economy, I have always had to pay for the medical benefits that I am fortunate to have, and I don’t mind paying out of my own pocket for that, since my employer pays a part of it also . . .but union folks just seem to assume that companies are there just to support their lavish lifestyles, not be successful or profitable.
I wonder what the collective IQ of these paragons of virtue and courage is ??
And there is no way what they are doing. protesting in front of his house, is legal at all . .but when does that matter to a mob of union goons ??
